Hello, crafty friends! Welcome back to my "Christmas on the 25th" series, where I bring you a touch of holiday cheer every month, even in April! I'm so excited to share this festive handmade gift card holder with you. Make sure you watch the video below to see all the steps in action! I'm especially thrilled because this project features products from a wonderful new-to-me company, Emily Moore Designs. I had the pleasure of meeting Emily at Creativation, and she generously gifted me some of her beautiful dies and stencils.

In today's video, I'm focusing on the ingenious Ornament Gift Card die set and the charming oval die from the Doily Shaker dies. My vision was to create a gift card holder that's not only functional but also a keepsake – something that can be reused or even hung on the Christmas tree as an ornament! I started by die-cutting the ornament base from patterned paper and white cardstock, layering them for stability, being careful to leave the gift card slot notches unglued.
For a touch of elegance, I added a sparkly champagne gold ornament topper. Then, using the scalloped oval die, I created a space for a stamped "Merry Christmas" sentiment. To complete the look, I even crafted my own metallic-looking charms using white cardstock and Simon Hurley's Lunar Paste – a fantastic technique Emily herself shared! This little ornament gift card holder truly elevates the act of giving, adding a personal and handmade touch to your presents.
